Part of me wants to do an involved tootchain as I read the entirety of Agatha Christie.
Waking up and reminding myself regularly to be nice to people.

expectation: wearing furry stuff in public is weird!! everyone will ostracise you!!!
reality: the cashier in Albert Heijn saw my cap with ears on it and said "I like your hat”

It's obvious that the NY Times is transphobic, but how did it get this way, and who's responsible? The always excellent Jude Doyle dug in and tells us. In a nutshell, it's executive editor Joe Kahn, co-managing editor Carolyn Ryan, and a general culture of privileged mediocrity failing upwards. But the details are worth reading about. #Transphobia #media #NYTimes

You know it is a Westmacott and not a Christie if its all about emotions and relationships and you hate EVERYONE
@pendragon huh, that is so fascinating as a construct

@pendragon @artfulreggie @jakebe You do make a good point there about needing a support network and I don't begrudge people moving for that necessity.
I do begrudge some people for choosing to move when they have other options and buying into this nonsense and their moving there being used as further propaganda to support the outlook. If that makes any sense.
@artfulreggie Yeah I see your point. Aware in the sense that they know something nebulously "bad" happens to other people and not being aware it will impact them because they're not exceptional.
I don't know if it is so much the zero-sum aspect so much as believing they are obviously the "winners"
@artfulreggie It really does feel that way at times. Like a litmus test of how aware a person is about things.
and dont even get me started on the freezes and how THAT is framed.
@artfulreggie @pendragon I am still surprised this is a thing that needs to be said. I assumed there had to be like a dozen really smarmy think pieces about it and yet....

@artfulreggie Oh yeah the conservative weirdo stornghold of New Mexico. The power of local cultural pervasiveness combined with *gestures*
that is a shame but yeah I don't know them.
@artfulreggie yeah perhaps it is better not to know at the same time curiosity has its influence.
sorry you had such a negative experience with this rediscovery though. Was this an NM fur? now I am curious if I knew them.
@ceralor yeah also true
@ceralor yeah pretty much and the worst part is this character is presented as the always super honest and so much more wiser then everyone else character so ugh
